Hey Guys!

Just took the GMAT today. I am sure this question has been asked, but I haven't been able to find it via search.

The unofficial printout you receive when you finish the test is obviously not the final official score. My question is what is the range of points and percentiles that my scores could potentially shift when I get my official scores in three weeks? Is there a standard deviation?

Thanks in advance,

KK

The scores don't change, but isn't it true that sometimes the percentiles change. Your score report may say your quant percentile is in the 81st percentile and it ends up being in the 79th, or something like that?
